Prednisone

A synthetic corticosteroid derived from cortisone, identified in 1950 and approved in the United States in 1955; used as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant, it is a prodrug that the liver converts into prednisolone. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, metabolites, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?It was born thanks to a bacterium: Arthur Nobile's group discovered that Corynebacterium simplex can turn cortisone into prednisone through microbial oxidation.
